Governor Update 3
Well, I'm making this appointment much quicker than I expected to, but I've had a feeling I'd be making an appointment on this for over a week now. Wink I was lucky to find a highly qualified, active Mideasterner who I'm certain will do a great job as Superior Court Judge.

I hereby appoint TJ in Cleve to the position of Superior Court Judge! Smiley

For procedure purposes, I'm going to submit the budget again for debate. Hopefully this is the last session this has to be done! Smiley

For reference, her is that budget, with the changes that were made.  Mr. Governor, I hope you'll withdraw your initial budget and introduce this one.  Once that happens, if we can get the GM to recalculate everything and give us the figures for the pension tax, we should be good:

Trying to come up with some form of compromise on the issue of unions, which I understand to be very difficult, as neither side is too willing to budge. Hopefully we can work on this more collectively once it is brought to debate - this will not be the final version. Wink

Due to recent changes in the composition of the Mideast Assembly, I am reintroducing this legislation.

Section 1
•   The Mideast Assembly recognizes that although English is the primary language of the region, there is no official language in the Mideast.  
•   The Mideast government will build English language education and career-services centers in the cities of Baltimore, Chicago (2x), Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Detroit, Grand Rapids, Green Bay, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Louisville, Madison, Milwaukee, Nyman DC (2x), Richmond, and St. Louis. These centers will focus on helping first generation immigrants learn English and find jobs so that they can be productive members of Atlasian society.
•   Any first-generation immigrant who passes a region-issued English language exam at one of these centers will, along with their family, be permitted to reside in the region for an additional five years under the guest worker program described in Section 2, Clause 1 of this bill.

Section 2
•   The Mideast will establish a ten-year guest-worker program through which immigrant workers will be issued special visas that will allow them (along with their nuclear family) to reside in the region as guest workers for a period not to exceed ten years.  
•   During this time, all guest workers and their family are encouraged to work to gain citizenship during this ten-year window

I believe we are all caught up on introduced legislation.  If I am incorrect in this, please let me know.

I am going to put a 48-hour hold on any legislative action (other than any votes currently in progress) to allow the Governor to catch up on updating the wiki.  If the wiki is caught up before that 48-hour hold, I'll lift the hold.

Now, let's look at the facts: The Constitution. The Governor is responsible for updating the Wiki for "all legislation and occurrences during his or her tenure." During my tenure, only one piece of legislation has been signed. Granted, I do need to get around to adding that in (and will also add the failed immigration legislation). However, according to our own Constitution, which I assumed you would be well-versed on, I have 60 days to get that updated before any consequences occur. It hasn't even been close to that.

Most of the Wiki work that needs done is because my predecessor couldn't seem to be able to update the wiki while campaigning for reelection. In due time, I will have that updated, but we can't be punished for that.

There is absolutely no Constitutional backing for your decision to do this - if you really wanted me to get that one bill added right away, you could have just PMed me.

EDIT: Inks informed me via PM that his main reason was so that the original version of a bill we're currently amending could be displayed on the Wiki. That has now been done, so this "hold" can be taken down.

My interpretation of clause 2 ("If appropriate action is not taken within 60 days of the passage of said legislation or occurrence, the Speaker of the Assembly shall become acting Governor and assume all responsibilities of the Governor until such time as the Governor has fulfilled the first clause of this section.") is that the Governor still has to update the wiki (otherwise, a previous governor could purposely not update the wiki so as to allow the Speaker to become the governor over the current Governor).  We should probably amend this to make it clearer.  So, for now, we'll move forward at a slow pace, and finish of the legislation we have, but let's not have any more bills introduced for the time being.
